Having problems with your Gateway MT3705 Notebook ?

I have a cd stuck inside my computer. i put it in the tray and when ejected the cd was no longer in the tray. how can i remove this cd? or do i need to have a professional look at it? thanks

Answers :

I would take the Drive to a professional unless you are familiar with the components inside a computer. If you are familiar then what you can do is Open the side casing remove the screews holding the drive. Remove the cables from the drive., then pull the drive out of the slot. Once it is out you will be able to unscrew the top lid off of the drive with 4 screws.

My tishiba DVD player has become inconsistent in what DVD it will play. It usde to be that I shoved a DVD disk into the drive and closed it and after a couple of zip sounds the pop up to select which DVD player did I want to use. The default was always Toshiba. When I clicked on the Toshiba DVD player a little whirring later and the program open and began showing the menues of the DVD. Now it just whirrs and zips and clickes and nothing. Some opf my disks still play. At one time they all played

Hey StewThe most probable problem here lies with the lens of you player. Since it still plays some DVD's , it's probably not burnt out so that means that it's dirty. This is supported by the fact that the problem is getting progessively w ...
